We were disappointed in reading the Repoit of the Gas Committee, in not finding the recommended reduction iu the charge for gas to private consumer*, what we had supposed it was. The committee advise a reduction in the rate after another gas holder is built. Why not reduce it now ? If it be just to reduce it then, is it not equally just to reduce it now ?— We suppose it will be answered that it is feared n reduction in price, may so rapidly increase the consumption, as to make it exceed the capicity of the works; and for this reason those who are so unfortunate as to be consumers now, must continue to bear their heavy bui'hen! That is not justice. Would it not be more reasonable, for the counci...

He states his decided conviction ihat they are injurious to health—anj adds : Many, if not all of these drops, nre flavored with the hydraled oxide of Arnyle, known in our Pharmocopceitisas futrloil, combined with nitric, acetic or citric acid. The poison is produced in the distillation of whiskey from corn, and probably the manuXactureis of the confectionary in which it is used, as well as the consumers, are not aware of its poisonous properties. I have just made some experiments with myself in the use of this poison, and find that in the state probably used by the confectioners, the mere odor is sufficient to cause headache, coughing. See.
